    Hello!

    I just discovered the C)opies feature in oxp. I just have to type one
    message and I have the option to include either additional netmail
    addresses or echo areas if I need a distribution.

    Testing this to POINTS and FIDOTEST.

    Works!

    However, it is nice to show somehow that you are xrossposting.

    Golded can do it automagically when you enter "xc:<echotag>".

    Shit.. I tried Alt-B to reflow the above, but it didn't work. :(

    Do you mean in the subject? or on first line in message? I am guessing the latter since subject lines often have low limits or get cut-off when processed.
    Will try that.

    Golded is a fine piece of work.

    You can put it anywhere. :)

    Ah.. yes, that can be useful, by raising awareness that other echos may be relevant and worthy of discovery if a reader in one echo was not aware of
    the crosspost destination echo (in the same net)

    But oxp's method is more like a Bcc for echomail, I guess. Clean, simple
    and innocuous.

    No point having a list of the copied/crossposted echos in the message (similar topics) that may be part of another net.

    Anyway.. byte by byte, char by char, OpenXP keeps impressing me with its features.
